Actually, quite a few German regiments still had turnbacks, waistcoats and breeches in facing colour during the first few years of the war, as well as drummers in reversed colours.

For example, IR 4 Deutschmeister with blue turnbacks (they also had blue waistcoats and breeches early on) and drummers in reversed colours:

Also, if it's colour you're after for your infantry, how about the Staff Regiment in blue or Loudon's Freikorps in Green?

The one of the marvelous things about modelling the Austrian army is how many of their regiments used the same facing colour and identical standards. This means that a handful of colours will suffice for your whole army. My own uses mid-blue, red, green and yellow. Every time I paint up a field battalion of fusiliers I paint up a company of grenadiers in matching facing colours. This ensures that my unit mix will be approximately correct.

I also designate some of my units to be Hungarian and paint their breeches and gaiters as it they were trousers. Perhaps this is less than ideal from a modelling point of view, yet when they are massed on the gaming table players are hard pressed to notice the fudge.

I'm with hefay. I salivate at the prospect of decent grenzer figures. The two units I have are conversions, featuring Airfix British Hussar heads on Airfix British Hussar bodies, augmented with cigarette paper capes. These are less than ideal but I cannot bring myself to pay the asking price for the metal grenzers available in 1/72nd, pretty as they may be.

'Airfix Hussar heads on Airfix Hussar bodies'? Isn't that a bit redundant? Or is that a typo?

Oops! I meant Airfix Grenadiers.

In fact, some are the Hussars squatting behind their horses, with the horses removed, the pelisse reformed into a cape and the sabre replaced by the musket from the crawling figure from the Washington's Army set.
